Our LAMDA classes offer extra curriculum activities which both enhance and compliment GCSE subjects such as Drama and Performing Arts. With the aim being to build confidence, learners will begin to understand about characterisation and develop strong speaking skills from working towards their LAMDA Acting Exams.
With the acting exams you have the option of:
- Solo: one learner delivers two monologues on their own (three monologues for Grades 7 and 8)
- Duologue: two learners perform two duologues (three duologues for Grade 7 and 8)
This is a great opportunity to learn and develop skills and gain qualifications. When you reach grades 6, 7 and 8 these exams can help you with University applications giving you UCAS points.
